Nic is worried that the producer is trying to blackmail him, we discuss problem neighbours, how moving to Germany presents unique challenges, and if it’s better to live next door to family or have them as far aways as possible. Also, Dili challenges Nic to watch an awarding winning German TV show that seemingly revolves around an incestious relationship.
We’re bringing you something a bit different this week. We’ve been in our secret audio vaults and discovered some lost segments from previous episodes. What is Nic’s weird hobby and why is it more fun than you might think? Simon brings us the story of one German’s rubbish hobby, and why it might require most of us to build an extension on our homes. We finish the show with a look at the best football team names from Germany’s lower tiers and ask why calling your team Porndorf might lead to more than a few questions.
Simons & Nic are increasingly optimistic as lockdown restrictions being to ease, Nic celebrates the end of the mask mandate in Augsburg by going on a one man pub crawl. Your hosts still find some parts of Germany a little strange, Simon bemoans the lack of mixer taps in British kitchens, while Nic explains why Germany is ready for the Zombie apocalypse. Simon introduces us to the world of Bernd das Brot, a depressed loaf of bread that has inexplicably become an award winning kids TV show character. To finish off the show, Simon & Nic look to a post-pandemic future and talk fests, Lederhosen and their favourite beer festival, the Erlangen Bergkirchweih.
This week Simon & Nic discuss German TV, is it really so bad? How are two German comedians making waves with an innovative idea for prime time TV? Is long running crime drama Tatort overrated? And how faithful are German TV remakes of English language TV?
